It comes as North Korea warned of a 'new demonstration of deterrence' after the US joined military drills with South Korea and Japan earlier this week.
South Korea has said North Korea may have launched a hypersonic missile towards the North's east coast. South Korea's joint chief of staffs said the launch on Wednesday morning originated from Pyongyang and appeared to fail before landing in the sea. The country initially thought North Korea had launched a ballistic missile.
Hypersonic weapons are considered the next generation of arms that aim to rob adversaries of reaction time and traditional defeat mechanisms. North Korea has launched various missiles that it claims are hypersonic over the few years. In April, Kim Jong Un watched over a test of what the country said was a new hypersonic-intermediate range missile using solid fuel.
